I saw this theatrically in 2007 and really liked it, the focus on psychological terror instead of the usual heavy gore ultra violence commonly associated with 2007 was a welcomed surprise for me.
A married couple on the rocks stuck in the middle of nowhere in a horror motel situation may be cliched or whatever but I couldn’t give a shit, I love this setup and tone wise Vacancy is a nice little update on the voyeurism aspect of Psycho meshed with the invasion qualities that we’d see the following year in The Strangers. There’s a lot to like here... I love the motel and the scuzzy rooms that almost have dingy Saw quality to them, the Saul Bass-esque opening credits, the…

I often mentally group this movie with The Strangers even though they really aren’t that similar and there is a full year in between release dates. Really the only thing they have in common is they’re both about a couple who find themselves ass deep in a very unpleasant situation. Well, the posters use some similar color shades and I oddly tend to remember things like that so that’s probably got a lot to do with it. This came out first and I’ll have to rewatch The Strangers before I could decide which one I liked better, but this one sure holds up since I saw it last!
Great suspense, some truly brilliant directorial choices, and two awesome leads make this…

From its Hitchcockian opening-credits, Vacancy is very much aware of its influences. Usually with these suspense riffs, the characters are so one-dimensional that they don't even bother with developing them, but the first act of Vacancy is entirely devoted to how much this couple, on the verge of divorce, despises each other. And even better, it's a sturdy screenplay - never do you feel that the character detail is superfluous. By the time it all goes to hell, it's gory and fun and intense, but it doesn't attempt to align itself with the new extremism or 'torture porn' of the time, and you empathize with the characters. A short and sweet little thrill-ride.

Considering the film is about a couple (Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson) whom are unwilling participants in a snuff film you would think it would be filled with mass quantities of blood and gore.. but that's not the case here. The film uses them rather sparingly in fact.
The film is more of a psychological thriller and prefers to rattle your nerves and senses through built up suspense and terror!
Final Word: Tension was so thick you could slice it with a knife!

i would have died within the first 30 minutes because you wouldn’t catch me going into those little tunnels

i would simply not check into the sketchy ass motel in the middle of nowhere during the night, but im just built different

Lean, screw-tightening snuff film thriller set at the torture porn era Bates motel. Nimród Antal has a pretty good feel for vantage and texture, and keeps the whole thing constantly feeling anxious and gross for 80 straight minutes. Was not surprised to learn M. Night tapped this guy for his Apple TV show or whatever but after revisiting this and Armored recently it's a real shame we didn't invest in carving out a permanent theatrical space for our capable stylists to tune up trash like this.

you know you’re in trouble when the upgrade from a standard motel room to a “suite” is only $5
